Gravel Bed Rivers
Description
Reviews / Votes
"I highly recommend the landmark and very accessible bookGravelBed Rivers: Processes, Tools, Environments edited byMichael Church, Pascale Biron, and André Roy, to any riverengineers, geomorphologists, environmental groups, policy makers,industry leaders, river managers, and advanced students who areseeking a complete overview of the latest knowledge in theprocesses, tools, and environments of gravel-bed rivers. This bookprovides the most comprehensive and authoritative collection ofinformation and research available, and is definitely a landmarkpublication." (Blog Business World, 7 February2012)More details
